PRESIDENT’S CHALLENGE

What needs to happen in our church so that we would give at least 10% to the Great Commission Fund?

Sharpening the GCF Vision of providing 85 percent of the GCF budget for Church Ministries and International Ministries

International Ministries Expenses as a Percentage of Total C&MA Income| 1922 to 2016

Sharpening the GCF Vision of providing 85 percent of the GCF budget for Church Ministries and International Ministries How do we get there? Revenues have to grow faster than the rate of inflation Slow down expenses in Operations/Finance, Development and Executive Strategic use of Legacy Gifts for Church Ministries and International Ministries Greater ownership and engagement by local churches (10% target)

What would happen if Alliance churches contributed 10% to the Great Commission Fund?

GCF LEVEL 1 GCF LEVEL 2 GCF LEVEL 3 GCF LEVEL 4

MOVING FROM GCF LEVEL 2 TO LEVEL 3 Areas where we have made significant progress reaching critical mass since Council 2015: Green Mountains Tea House (team 1) K1 K2 Mali Berlin Japan

MOVING FROM GCF LEVEL 2 TO LEVEL 3 Additional areas where we are focusing efforts to reach critical mass over the next two years: Senegal Spain Paraguay Indonesia China (3 teams) Mongolia Koutiala and Bongolo Hospitals

MOVING FROM GCF LEVEL 2 TO LEVEL 3 Areas with some of the biggest needs that will take longer unless funding is provided: Russia Kosovo Israel (Jewish ministry) India

MOVING FROM GCF LEVEL 2 TO LEVEL 3 During 2018 International Ministries will identify up to five new initiatives among nearby unreached peoples or populations into which we have doorways. This could create the need for up to 50 more additional new workers, beyond our critical mass focus, over a five year period.

MOVING FROM GCF LEVEL 2 TO LEVEL 3 If all Alliance churches hit the 10 percent giving goal, the deployment of these resources would be assured!

Four Levels of Giving to the GCF

GCF LEVEL 1 • Losing ground/impact • Sending fewer workers/teams understaffed • Less church planting support

GCF LEVEL 2 • Holding our ground/maintaining • Missing opportunities • International workers remain understaffed/ church planting under-resourced

GCF LEVEL 3 • Church planting resources restored • Current international worker teams appropriately staffed (i.e. critical mass) • $4 million in additional GCF giving needed

More peoples reached! (4,075) GCF LEVEL 4 WE GET TO DREAM AGAIN! More peoples reached! (4,075)
